I don’t think that would happen. Lu Han and Kris clearly both had ways out, both having secured movie leads. Sun Yixing, maybe? It doesn’t seem like Tao would do better on his own than staying with SM.

Same feelings about Chen Xuedong, especially given that his previous image was rather kid-like himself.
The Chen Sicheng/Chen Xuedong amusement park outing/weekend was so adorable. Chen Sicheng is definitely my favorite. Wang Zixuan is my second favorite. I thought she was going to be a spoiled princess, but she’s so sweet and earnest.

Just finished Desert Melody (Legend of the Wind or whatever other name it was called), it was pretty good for a novel adaptation and they kept most things right in there which was nice. The scenery was also pretty which was a big bonus.

Now I have nothing left on my list to watch – any recommendations? I was hoping The Four would be released sometime this year but I don’t think that is going to happen any time soon :( (Lol there should be a compiled list of anticipated series which have been filmed but have no air date in sight) I prefer Ancient series.

I’ve managed to finish 情定三生. It’s not top-tiered, but the plot is fast-moving and intense in a 狗血 romance way, Yang Rong is beautiful, and the male lead (by whom I mean Chi Rui) is really good-looking.

Personally, I am loving that drama right now! It is really addicting to watch MRZZ every week :3 I think each of the individual stories are well written and the male lead is maturing as the story goes on. There are also a lot of plot twists (e.g. this week, loved the big revelation). Casting is nice, especially Yang Rong!

So having watched the trailer for Nirvana in Fire, I decided to go and read the original book and it was actually really surprisingly good for an internet novel with a plot that made sense. Does anyone else have any good recommendations for similar novels?

Nope, but if anyone has recommendations, i would like them, as well!
I’ve been reading a lot of sci-fi lately in anticipation for the upcoming sci-fi boom, though, and I recommend Liu Cixin and Han Song if you haven’t read them. Currently reading Ken Liu’s The Man Who Ended History and getting super depressed…

Yes, I am. It’s not bad, I enjoyed reading it. A little slow in the beginning, but it picks up later. A bit heavy on the scientific aspects, about the orbital mechanics, to virtual reality computer games. It’s kind of in the middle of being a hard and soft sci-fi.
I would say that the story is very interesting, the characters are a little…bland. So far I really like the character Da Shi and Wang Miao grew on me a little bit.

I like it! My Chinese is not very good, I’m still learning! Really? I actually like the footnotes. XDD
I heard that a lot of people like the second and third one better. The second one being the best out of the three.

Yessss. We’re supposed to believe the Americans and Chinese join forces in their fight against a hacker. Here’s the trailer. http://youtu.be/Q1HO07bKGhU
I’m not complaining about being able to see WLH in cinemas in my country.

In his video diary, WLH also had this interesting quote that “cliches are changing” concerning Asians (men mostly) in Hollywood.

I saw the movie btw and it’s blah but it was interesting to watch a Hollywood movie featuring so many Asian actors (even though still with a Caucasian lead) in prominent roles and they even spoke Mandarin/Cantonese/other languages in the movie.
